  • Wreath of the Day, From the Archives – Happy New Year

    Today we wish you all a Happy New Year. It’s 2021 and we all hope the coming year brings health and a resumption of some of our cherished activities and traditions, if not immediately, at least by summer or fall. We intend to be back decorating in December, and will be planning accordingly. These posts over the past month have brought back many happy memories but are certainly bittersweet. We miss each other. Continue to be careful, please, and enjoy the many online activities which have blossomed in response to lockdowns. We will continue to keep you up to date on many of the possibilities to learn and enjoy.

    Thank you to long time customer Julie Mathisen, our closing sponsor for Wreath of the Day posts. From our Wreath Volunteers: “See you all next year!”
